Bruno Lage is eager to sign Costa for Wolves following a serious injury to Sasa Kalajdzic

Costa has been a free agent since January, when he left Atletico Mineiro.

Wolves are set to discover on Wednesday whether Costa will be allowed to play in the Premier League.

There are concerns that the application may be turned down due to him being 33 years old or because of his lack of recent appearances for Spain.

Costa, who was born in Brazil, has played 24 times for Spain, scoring ten goals, but the last of those appearances came in 2018.

Wolves are eager to sign a striker after new signing Sasa Kalajdzic suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury on his debut for Southampton.

Raul Jimenez was a late withdrawal from the squad against Southampton after he sustained an injury in the warm-up.

Costa’s lack of recent caps for Spain, who he hasn’t played for since 2018, may be costly
